Recommended for use in music lessons, etc. ● Violin Body This violin is about 50 years old and has minor scratches, hairline scratches, dents, and marks from the bridge due to use. Overall, it is a good violin. The surface has been cleaned and polished, giving it a shine. ● Body Maintenance: New nylon strings replaced, sound post adjusted, bridge adjusted, surface cleaning, gloss restoration, new tailpiece with built-in adjusters installed, and other general adjustments. ● Bow: Standard unmarked stick, Brazilwood/Mongolian horsehair/ebony frog (unused. Please apply rosin before use.) ● Case: Triangular hard case. Used, with some wrinkles, stains, and fraying, so it is not in perfect condition. (One shoulder strap, diagonal type. Key included) ■ The No. 280 is a discontinued model and was a representative model manufactured for beginners for a long time. In terms of functionality, the tailpiece with built-in adjusters makes tuning easier. The No. 280 is a beginner-grade violin that is easy to play, easy to hold down, and easy to handle. It is ready to use after tuning and applying rosin, so you can use it with confidence. The wood is well-dried and produces a mellow, subdued tone. The maintenance is sufficient for use in music schools. ■ If you need a shoulder rest, a new FOM shoulder rest can be included for an additional 1200 yen. (Please let me know if you need one.) ◇ Please Read. Before purchasing, please check my profile if you have any questions.
